On April 24th, some trucks carrying yellow containers moved to the landing site for rescue helicopters in front of the present Prince of Wales Hospital. These containers were placed at different places along the border of the building site of the New Prince of Wales Hospital. The car park was still in service at that time.
Today, May 7th, the construction work is in progress. The car park has stopped service. At the front near the main road, there are some small machines for drilling and picking up soil samples. Definitely they are not drilling oil up. The green steel bars, I believe, will be punched down the soil to prevent it from falling into the big trench dug down. The yellow containers should be for offices and storage use. The construction work can take two to three years to complete and it can be interesting to see how a hospital building is erected, but the people living in buildings near by will suffer from sound pollution and dust invasion in the following years!

Are they going to demolish the whole hospital and build a new one, or just build a new wing adjacent to the existing building? We feel for those people who have to endure noise and air pollution for the next few years.
